A pair of peregrine falcons have
been nesting for a couple of months in the Marche birthplace of
13th century Emperor Frederick II, the 'Stupor Mundi' (Wonder of
the World) who wrote a celebrated treatise on falconry.
The Falconers of Frederick II have dubbed the pair Federico
and Costanza in honour of "the greatest falconer in history",
who was born in a square in Jesi to Constance of Hauteville
(Costanza di Alatavilla) in 1194.
